Weaponizing words

These days words abound
while seldom soar
blow along the ground
just mostly bore

Today’s sentences short
kept snappy to score
to zing sharp in retort
been sharpened to gore:

Used like arms to quell
Get someone conned
Letting fly to sell
Faking a bond

Ought we instead worry whether
words forge commonality
by drawing us all together
beyond triviality?
